Welcome to The Great Try-On. With spring well and truly in the air, we seized the opportunity to try on some of the best new-in pieces from some of your favourite brands, documenting the process along the way. We believe that the best way to shop online is to see an item IRL and to read candid reviews, so we hope that this leads you to your most successful purchases of the year.
I’m not sure about you, but I am officially over winter. Around this time every year, I am itching for spring and all it brings—better weather (finally), the beginning of the holiday season and a new wardrobe. Of course, I don’t just buy an entirely new wardrobe, but just as I’m packing away my puffer coat, I say hello to all those garments I neatly placed in the box under the bed for the cooler months. As I rifle through the linen shirts, cotton trousers and sandals that I forgot I ever had, I rediscover them all over again. The basics are pretty covered, and then I pepper in a few new purchases that breathe new life into the older things, some of which I’ve had for years.
